Ch. 2.4. POD. A + 27.7 = -36.6 M = -4.2. 12. Equations with variables on both sides. Solve: 6x + 3 = 8x - 21 First we want to get x on one side…. 6x + 3 = 8x – 21 -6x -6x 3 = 2x – 21 +21 + 21 24 = 2x 12 = X. Subtract 6x from both sides and combine like terms.

POD • A + 27.7 = -36.6 • M = -4.2 12
Equations with variables on both sides Solve: 6x + 3 = 8x - 21 First we want to get x on one side…. 6x + 3 = 8x – 21 -6x -6x 3 = 2x – 21 +21 + 21 24 = 2x 12 = X Subtract 6x from both sides and combine like terms Add 21 to both sides 2 2 Divide both sides by 2
Example 2: -6d = d + 4 -d -d -6d = d + 4 -7d = 4 D = -4/7 -7 -7 Practice: • Solve: m – 5 = 3m • Solve: 2(c – 6) = 9c +2 M = -5/2 C = -2
You can buy used in-line skates from your friend for $40, or you can rent some. Either way you must rent safety equipment. How many hours must you skate for the cost of renting and buying skates to be the same? Skates & safety equipment $3.50 p/h Safety equipment $1.50 p/h Safety equipment rental Skates AND equipment rental Cost of friend’s skates + = **let h stand for the number of hours you must skate 40 + 1.5h = 3.5h -1.5h -1.5h 40 = 2h h = 20 2 2 ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK YOUR ANSWER!!!
